Southampton Philharmonic Choir with Southampton University
Philharmonic Choir perform Verdi's Requiem, a work unashamedly
theatrical in style, in which moments of great tenderness and
simplicity are juxtaposed with
passages of the most powerful and
thrilling intensity. Performing with
them under the baton of David
Gibson are the New London Sinfonia.
Tickets £12 – £34 available online or
from the Cathedral Box Office.
